February 2021 Photo of the Month

“Kelp”

Photograph by Jim Ingraham

This image, titled “Kelp” was taken from Citizens Dock Rd. in the harbor at Crescent City, Ca. It was a bright and sunny day and the winds were calm. The kelp was sitting near the surface and I could see the seafloor as well as clouds reflecting in the water. The color of the water was a beautiful blue green. I thought it would make for a compelling image.

Taken with a Nikon D810 and Tokina 24-70 mm lens at 40mm. ISO 125, Shutter speed of 1/125 and aperture of F8

 

Congratulations! Jim on a beautiful image.  Look for Jim’s image to be featured soon in the Daily Courier.

First Place

Light My Way    Rose Christner

“Light My Way” was an adventure out into the night to try something new that I had never done before. Trying my newly gained skills at night photography was totally fun!  I used my Canon EOS R at f/13, 6 sec., ISO 200,18mm lens. Yes, I used a tripod and intentionally went out during traffic time to get the light stream of the cars. I look forward to more adventures in night photography preferably with other like minded photographers.

“General Store”

Photograph by Dale George

Dale writes about this image:

“General Store” was taken in Central Oregon at Fort Rock after sunset. It is a 3 image HDR combined in Photomatix, tone mapped, and some other tweaks before converting it to black and white in Silver Efex Pro 2.
The nuts and bolts….average exposure time .5 seconds, f/6.3 using my old Canon 5DMKIII and 24-70mm lens.
